| 1 | After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. |
| 2 | Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. |
| 3 | His brethren therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. |
| 4 | For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world. |
| 5 | (For neither did his brethren believe in him.) |
| 6 | Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. |
| 7 | The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. |
| 8 | Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come. |
| 9 | When he had said these words to them, he abode still in Galilee. |
| 10 | But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. |
| 11 | Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? |
| 12 | And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceiveth the people. |
| 13 | Yet, no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews. |
| 14 | Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. |
| 15 | And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
| 16 | Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. |
| 17 | If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. |
| 18 | He that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. |
| 19 | Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? |
| 20 | The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee? |
| 21 | Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. |
| 22 | Moses therefore gave to you circumcision, (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. |
| 23 | If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath? |
| 24 | Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. |
| 25 | Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
| 26 | But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? |
| 27 | But we know this man, whence he is: whereas when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. |
| 28 | Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. |
| 29 | But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me. |
| 30 | Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. |
| 31 | And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? |
| 32 | The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him: and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. |
| 33 | Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him that sent me. |
| 34 | Ye will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. |
| 35 | Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? |
| 36 | What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? |
| 37 | In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me, and drink. |
| 38 | He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. |
| 39 | (But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) |
| 40 | Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet. |
| 41 | Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ come out of Galilee? |
| 42 | Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? |
| 43 | So there was a division among the people because of him. |
| 44 | And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. |
| 45 | Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him? |
| 46 | The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man. |
| 47 | Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived? |
| 48 | Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
| 49 | But this people who know not the law are cursed. |
| 50 | Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them) |
| 51 | Doth our law judge any man before it heareth him, and knoweth what he doeth? |
| 52 | They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. |
| 53 | And every man went to his own house. |
